I just want to know how a thread about whether or not Hold Me was Fleetwood Mac's biggest hit devolved into La Nicks flashing her battle worn business ..ewww.

Thanks! You know, after the Great Ledge Implosion of 2007, there were a bunch of offshoot boards from here. One of those was called Threadjackers. Because of the above...

Maybe Stevie actually had a body suit on underneath and the engineer mistook it.
She is a dancer. |

So yeah.... Hold Me was a HUGE hit back when I used to run through sprinklers as a kid. I would hear it come out of the radio we had blaring in the yard.

We need to keep "battle worn business" going for a while.

Dreams was most streamed song in the world in 2021. 44 years after its release. By far their most successful. Billboard charts alone don't tell the whole story.

I hear GYOW FAR MORE on the radio than Dreams.

I don’t think they missed the point of the thread, Manfan. I think what they were saying was that, in terms of Billboards rankings, Hold Me may have been the most successful FM single THEN, but it isn’t their most successful single now. History is one of the factors I would use, along with current airplay, which songs are played when introducing the band, or clips played during interviews. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clip of Hold Me played during interviews with the band- instead, we get GYOW, Dreams, Little Lies, Landslide, Don’t Stop, but never Hold Me. If Dreams was really the most streamed song of 2021, I would say that is definitely a factor when asking “is Hold Me the Mac’s most successful single.” Maybe if the title of the thread was “WAS Hold Me the Mac’s most successful single,” then we’d have a different answer.

Regardless of downloads and current commercials, Dreams is on and part of one of the most successful albums in history. Casual people know that is Fleetwood Mac. Hold Me had not even been performed by the band live (since Mirage) until 2017's Buck/Vie tour and then the Mac a year later for a few shows. Mirage is probably the 5's least selling album even though it hit #1. I am not trying to persuade anyone that Dreams is not more popular or known than Hold Me. I am providing statistics that show in the year of its release, Hold Me was a bigger hit than Dreams was in 1977. Thats it. All this rewriting history and adding current stuff does not take away that Hold Me was a bigger hit in 1982 than Dreams was in 1977. Thats it. Another interesting statistic is Bella Donna sold better in 1983 than Wild Heart did in 1983. Wild Heart peaked at #5 holding its own with Thriller and Flashdance but then fell like a rock. Bella Donna lurked as a bottom feeder the entire year and finished on Billboard several notches higher than Wild Heart.

I’m also not trolling you when I say that FM did perform Hold Me during their Mirage tour in 1982. |
